Summerville: The Flower Town in the Pines

Summerville is known as “The Flower Town in the
Pines.” For over a century, tourists have congregated in Summerville so they
can enjoy spring blossoms in the private and public gardens of the city,
especially Azalea Park. Because of the natural beauty and wholesome quality of
life, Summerville’s population doubled in the 1980s. Now with a population of
approximately 45,000, the city continues to attract families, military
personnel, and entrepreneurs, who are all looking for the quality of life that
has long since disappeared from many American cities. Summerville’s pleasures
and perks extend beyond its scenery and thriving economy; residents and
visitors will always find something fun to do. As for festivals, Summerville
has hosts its annual Flowerton Festival, which is the largest arts and crafts
festival in South Carolina. And there are many year-round
attractions as well such as Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, the Colonial Dorchester
State Historic Site, Velocity Air Sports, and Frankie’s Fun Park. With all of
these activities, Summerville is the perfect place for families of all sizes to
settle down.
